1856 have been on the platform distinctly laid

party Is on the Sigh: track The gains of the year

Food and Feeding in Convalescenc nee.
In recovery from severe illness, when
the diet has consisted principally of
milk and beef tea, there is generally a
craving for vegetable food. With the
doctors permission, baked potato may
be given. 1t must be thoroughly cook
ed. mashed smoothly, sprinklcd with
salt and served with little hot cream
poured over it. Some physicians re-
commend fish in the early stages of
convalescence rs light and nutritious
food. Fresh cod or haddock, boiled,
not fried, may be tried to begin with,
and If this is borne well little salt cod
fish, shredded and stewed in cream
with little nutmeg grated over it, will
be found very acceptable. Oysters are
alway digestible and, in the proper
season, are valuable addition to the
diet list They may be prepared in any
way except fried and are delicious
steamed. Persons who do not care for
milk, like them scalded in their own
liquor and spread on buttcred toast bet
ter than when made into the ordinary
stew.
If the prejudice against frogs legs
has been overcome, or does not exist,
they will prove delicate morsel. They
should be parbolled for few minutes,
then stewed until tender and served
with well favored white sauce. Juicy,
tender becfsteak, mutton chops. nicely
trimmed, with the supcrfluous fat re-
moved, the breast of chicken, game
grouse, quails or partridges in their sea-
son-are all suitable for the GONZALES
cent Pork should DO avoided as too
rich and veal as indigestiblc and less
nutritious than other meats Well
cooked vegetables are very necessary
addition to the bill of fare. Green peas,
asparagus, cauliflower, onions (if the
mere mention of the word is not too
shocking to ears polite), parsnips and
celery are all admissible when they can
be had, while tomatoes are never fail
